CasaTeatro El

What CasaTeatro El does

CasaTeatro El Poblado is a nonprofit cultural foundation (Fundación CasaTeatro El Poblado, NIT 900435818-1) operating a single live theater venue in the El Poblado neighborhood of Medellín, Colombia (Carrera 47B Nº 17 B Sur 30). The foundation is governed under Colombia's Régimen Tributario Especial and runs a small operation with approximately 7 employees. Its core offering is the Teatro CasaTeatro El Poblado, a live performance venue hosting theatrical productions, comedy shows, concerts, and cultural events for the general public, with ticket prices ranging from $40,000 to $60,000 COP per seat depending on the event and advance-purchase timing. Distribution is conducted through a third-party online ticketing platform (eTicketa Blanca) with QR-code entry and at-the-door cash and Bancolombia QR payments.

The business model is a hybrid of nonprofit foundation and small commercial operator. In addition to ticket sales, CasaTeatro monetizes the venue through ancillary on-site offerings: Café La Gracia, an external café partner operating within the venue; Galería CasaTeatro, an art gallery hosting exhibitions (notably the 2017–2019 'El huésped ilustre' series with Tragaluz editores); and CasaTeatro a Tu Colegio, an educational outreach program bringing performances to schools. Marketing is conducted through the foundation's own website, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp, supplemented by alliances listed publicly with Medellín En Escena, Mon Velarde, and Confiar (financial services / QR payment infrastructure).

CasaTeatro serves the local Medellín cultural audience and, through its school program, the institutional K-12 segment. The foundation has published annual management reports from 2013 through 2025, indicating continuous operation for at least 12 years, and currently schedules programming into mid-2026. There are no disclosed revenue figures, funding rounds, audited financials, or named institutional customers in the available data; all distribution, ticketing, and payment infrastructure is outsourced to third-party platforms.
